FAGAN APOLOGISES FOR DOCKER DIG<\/p>\n
Departed Brisbane coach Chris Fagan has reportedly apologised to Fremantle\u2019s Jordan Clark for remarks made during his speech at the Lions\u2019 best and fairest. <\/p>\n
At the club\u2019s end-of-season awards night on Thursday, Fagan gave a 30-minute speech throughout which he had his premiership players stand up as he addressed each of them. <\/p>\n
When it was Darcy Wilmot\u2019s turn, Fagan took the opportunity to have a crack at Clark\u2019s All-Australian selection this year while praising his half-backer. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not an All-Australian selector, but it\u2019s about time they picked you, I reckon,\u201d Fagan said to Wilmot during his speech. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf that Jordan Clark from Fremantle can get picked, I reckon you can \u2026 anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n
The comment earned a laugh from those in attendance at The Star in Brisbane. <\/p>\n
But according to AFL Media\u2019s Cal Twomey on Saturday, Fagan contacted Clark \u201cto apologise and clear up his comments\u201d. <\/p>\n
Fagan\u2019s remarks came on the same day it was officially confirmed that the 65-year-old would step away from his head-coaching mantle after winning his third premiership in charge last Saturday. <\/p>\n

ROOS \u2018FRONTRUNNER\u2019 SPEAKS BEFORE BIG MEETING<\/p>\n
Fremantle assistant Jaymie Graham said he was excited about potentially coaching the Kangaroos ahead of his trip east. <\/p>\n
Graham is presenting to the North Melbourne coach selection panel \u2014 comprising Jennifer Watt (chair), Todd Viney, Andrew Swallow, Darren Crocker, Nick Dowling and Steele Sidebottom \u2014 on Saturday. <\/p>\n
The 43-year-old was stopped for comment on Friday before his flight to Melbourne. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m heading over there; I\u2019m in the process, which is a good opportunity for myself,\u201d he told 10 News. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s an exciting opportunity if I was to be successful. Clearly, I\u2019d like an opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Graham, who fell short in his pursuits of the Essendon and Carlton roles earlier in the year, is considered one of the most ready assistants for the step up. <\/p>\n
And according to Seven\u2019s Tom Morris, alongside fellow contender Nathan Buckley, Graham is \u201cwidely seen as the frontrunner\u201d in the race. <\/p>\n
Hawthorn pair David Hale and Daniel Giansiracusa were also said to be formally presenting for the job, as was Roos assistant Xavier Clarke. <\/p>\n
